I love the feeling of being home! I truly enjoy being surrounded by the people I love and the things that make me happy. I am passionate about finding joy in my home---which for me has a double meaning. My home is where I find comfort and discover who I am by using my talents and abilities.
I'm an avid thrift store shopper and collector. I love to create, re-purpose, design, re-invent and build all sorts of things.
I am passionate about helping others find the joy in their homes that I do in mine. And I believe that it doesn't take a lot of cash to do it.

"The more you trust and rely upon the Spirit, the greater your capacity to create." ---Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Pardon me, I'm trying to get back into the swing of blogging again and I'm a little behind on showing off my September mantle.

October is just around the corner and the Halloween decorations are calling to me. But before I pull out the bins and re-do my mantle with a scary flair, I thought I would show off my glitzy early fall mantle.It was an easy display. A huge gold frame borders a few smaller ones with a line-up of shiny and sparkly pumpkins in front. And some candles and faux plants mixed in for interest.

Brown wall- check. White mantel- check. White ceiling- check. Now all I need is golden flitter and glitter and glitz and glam so my mantel can look as sophisticated as yours!Oh wait.I know a shop that sells golden spray paint for less than £1.50... SQUEE!!Love your display, elegant and stylish. Thanks for sharing!

Hi joy, it's so nice to meet you. I am your newest follower. I found you through Censational Girl. Your mantle is lovely and I especially like the use of your frames. I, too chose to use frames on mine.
